Reading Time: < 1 minute

The ground is rumbling, the stars are out. The vague definition of white water bounces in the distance. Slowly, but surely, the first figures appear on the beach to get their eyes on what appears to be massive Pipeline. Anxiety, excitement, and adrenaline fill the hazy air.

In this section from our latest episode of The Pick-Up, we’ll meet the warriors who paddle out at first light when Pipeline is massive, catch up on the latest news gathered ’round town with Tosh Tudor and Pua DeSoto, check the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing leaderboard with Mikey C, and see which teams have been dominating the Da Hui Backdoor Shootout. Hint: Three brothers that grew up at Ehukai beach park (and their honorary brother/best friend).

The Pick-Up is a weekly North Shore news show, a Stab and Vans joint. Watch all Episode 4.
